Okay, that's it. I'm done. [View All]

[MorningGlow]

I am going to ground for the rest of this Mercury retrograde, and I'm not coming out!! You think I'm kidding? I'm not kidding! Not after the day I just had! Ready for this?

Sigh. Okay. It has to do with our neighbors. Long story, but there's been some tension and Mr. MG and the neighbor had a blow up on Friday night. (I've posted in the Lounge a couple of times: about a week ago http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=8127170 and, from Friday, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8141178 .) The Friday evening encounter ended without police being called (thank goodness). Tentative truce. Mr. MG and neighbor went their separate ways.

Then, this evening, there was a knock on the door. Neighbor. He informed us that his cat got "ripped up" today--literally--gashed so deeply in the abdomen that he could see the intestines.

He wanted to know if Mr. MG did it out of revenge.

Interestingly enough, Mr. MG was more understanding about him asking that, based on the timing--just after their argument. I, however, was livid. We are both dedicated animal lovers and have three cats of our own. The thought that Mr. MG would...what...grab the cat, flip it upside down, and gouge its belly?...was horrifying.

But then I was more horrified, because neighbor said that he didn't have the money to take the cat to a vet and all he could do was let his daughter put a gauze pad on the cut. WHAT?! So the cat could die a long, slow, painful death from an infected wound?!

After he left, I lost it. Broke down in tears at the thought of the cat suffering. Mr. MG said forget it--there's nothing you can do. I couldn't bear it. So a few minutes later I threw on my shoes and went over there, animosity or not. I begged him to take the cat to the vet and give me the bill and I would pay it. We don't have any money either, but I couldn't live with myself knowing that a cat had died because the neighbor couldn't pay a vet bill.

So...ready for this?...No you're not--trust me. Wait for it...










Wait...











Neighbor said he figured I was coming over, offering to pay the bill, because Mr. MG HAD done it and I felt guilty and wanted to make amends.

:wtf:

And THAT, my dear friends of the ASAH forum, is what you get when you try to communicate during Merc Ret. GAAAAAaaahhhhhh...
